Dear Paul,
I have tried that a few times. I tried two ways of making the bootable
USB, too, just in case I had messed /that/ up! I might have done that,
of course, being a bit clueless but as far as I can see the only way
with this little netbook is to go the route of a non-USB/DVD install. So
far, there seem two ways to do that but I'm a bit fearful of doing that
on my own. The problem seems to be that there doesn't seem to be any
other option than the #1 SATA HDD as a booting option in the BIOS.
But thanks, again, for your concern.
Nic
